From the 450k manifest data that I retrieve using getAnnotation() in minfi, how do I interpret variables UCSC_RefGene_Name and UCSC_RefGene_Group when there are several genes or groups listed (separated by a semicolon) for the same probe (that is, in the same row)?

Example:

For probe X, I have:

UCSC_RefGene_Name: Gene1;Gene2;Gene1

UCSC_RefGene_Group: TSS200;Body;1stExon

My guess for this probe would be that it maps to three distinct transcripts: 1. In TSS200 of first Gene1 transcript; 2. In Body of Gene2 transcript; 3. in 1stExon of second Gene1 transcript. Is this correct?

Best,

Sean

This annotation is provided by Illumina and is unchanged. I don't use it myself, and have no comments on it.

The manifest has a description of each entry available here. It states that different spliceforms are listed, and the Groups are listed in that same order. I would say that your interpretation is correct

Best, Will
